Table 1 Patients’ clinicopathological characteristics. BI-RADS breast density assessment is expressed from A-D scaling: A (<25% glandular), B (25% - 50% glandular), C (51% - 75% glandular, D (>75% glandular). Patient reproductive history is expressed using Gravida-Para (GP) terminology (’has children’ label refers to patient with children but exact number was not specified/saved). The label ’undefined’ indicates cases for which information could not be retrieved from the hospital’ archives or the patient did not provide it
